Starmer's craven support for US exceptionalism and Zionism is beyond reproach his absolute and total servility to the US/UK ruling class and its omnipresent Deep (Police} State is so glaring and obvious it is sickening. This is a man with not a fibre of integrity or courage in his person who is dedicated to implementing his master's barbaric brief to the letter with a fawning display of superiority and detachment befitting a crooked lawyer!

Another great article!

What it tells me is your government is as corrupt as the USA. Which isn't a good sign. Probably most of Europe as well given the outcome of the recent elections.

None of these people are sane. If outside of the political system they would be locked up for mental instability. But now the POLITICIANS are defining what NORMALCY and SANITY are. Americans are in a mental health crisis according to former US surgeon generals and politicians when in reality it's the entire government that is mentally ill. I wonder what King Charles says and thinks about this? Is he a Zionist as well? Having all these politicians from other countries claiming they are Zionist is beyond bizarre and should be considered political treason. Zionism is a political system. When political leaders claim to be members of another government they are no longer representing the people who elected them. And I realize that this could be argued because the definition of Zionism is intentionally muddled and unclear. Actions speak louder than words and Israels actions are quite clear. The question is really why are all these countries supporting a genocide inflicted by Israel on Palestine?

In short anyone who would advocate killing civilians deliberately is not mentally sound.

1. The UK election should be seen, not as a vote of confidence in Labour, but as as a referendum on the Tories and their disastrous economy as well as their wars in Gaza and Ukraine (the fallout from latter of which has done much to amplify economic concerns).

Fact is, Labour policies will be the same as the Tories or any other european political force that is allowed near power. No farmer asks his chickens whether they want to be converted into McNuggets or would they prefer become chicken filets? The Americans will not ask their europeon puppets, either.

2. The irony is that Labour and Tories compete as to who can abase themselves more abjectly before their American Master. Some minor State functionary snaps his fingers and gesticulates in the general direction of his crotch, and european knees hit their floor with a resolute thud, grateful for being allowed the opportunity to gratify their American Master.

Also we have entered into a very, very scary time of 'democracy' in UK and the US. That is there is a duopoly in both countries: the US due to the prohibitive cost of another party/candidate entering the race and being treated equally by the media in terms of exposure, in the UK by the FPTP voting system which will only allow labour or Tory to win.

As the duopoly is actually really a monopoly - with the exact same neoliberal policies and imperialism, it doesn't matter who wins the elections as it is just business as usual for the people really calling the shots or the lobbyists and corporations etc. This is so clearly seen in what is becoming a revolving door between the two parties in the UK at least, with Tory MPs 'defecting' to labour which shows you how close the two are in policy. The only discernible difference in policy was the Rwanda scheme which Keir refused to call immoral - his big peev with it being that it was too expensive.

With this effectively uniparty system, the party in power can go to its most extreme knowing that come the next election, the other party will win out of dislike of the former, not due to any like of the latter. In other words, it's just business as usual and it doesn't matter who wins. The winning party can also go to the most extremist of policies, because come general election, back come the Tories to continue on.

As such we've evolved into a uni-ideological political system which allows extremism from government, without any recourse to drop it be ause there is no true opposition to do so.

As such depression of democracy and protest rights - which are among the most totalitarian of state abuses and extremist laws - are continuing unabated, as is the continuation of aiding and abetting genocide with total impunity. Same with taking from the treasury and giving a blank cheque to Ukraine while 30% British children are in poverty; with no money for them.

Uni-ideological political landscapes offer no recourse to remedy or rights: but they do allow extremism to fester, grow and continue unabated and with impunity.

That is where we are now. And it's terrifying.

Of course. You can choose between corporate imperialist muppet Tweedledee and corporate imperialist muppet Tweedledum.

Democracy, as a practical matter, is basically an exercise in passing the buck, in avoiding responsibility. Everyone in power claims to answer to and derive their authority from someone else, going ultimately back to "the people" who themselves do not directly exercise power, and who would find it difficult to exercise as a collective action problem, even if they had the formal authority to do so. The technical term for this is a "beard".

What this means is that real power is often in the hands of unelected bureaucrats, who typically don't even want to stand for election because they don't want the voters to know what their programs are, much less to exercise any oversight. Robert Moses is the classic example here.

Even that minimal level of scrutiny is too much for some, and real power is often exercised by people not formally part of any government structure. Corporate lobbyists or Robert Kagan come to mind.

This is entirely intentional. All you get to do is vote for one of two carefully curated corporate imperialist muppets. If you don't like what the muppet does, you can vote for the other muppet next time.

The only person who is more scary than Starmer is Blair, he is probably pulling the strings ….does anyone remember Blair promised justice for the Palestinians as one of the outcomes for his war crimes in Iraq ?

I understand Starmer said his favorite song is the EU anthem, which is certainly an indication that his loyalties do not lie within the UK itself. Perhaps he should change his last name to Stormer; at least that has some more imperialistic oomph to it.

Only by treating Starmer and all those who vote for his Genocide supporting policies as the criminals and pariahs that they are will these people begin to think and appreciate just how serious an error of judgement they have committed.

Any public appearance should be met with the approbation they deserve.

This has to be the time for the SCG to unite on the principle of one out all out and embarrass the Zionists in charge of Sham Labour.

We have called for a new party ever since he dropped his fake Ten Pledges and started his attack on Jeremy Corbyn as the culmination of years of attacks on those opposed to the Genocide which started in Deir Yassin in 1947 and has continued to this day: never let anyone convince you that this is a result of Oct 7th, 2023. Had this been accomplished before the GE we would be in a better place than that he has been given through the disaffection of the populace with the Tories and their obvious greed and self serving approach to Government.

New Party please.

He's a zionist isn't he? Of courses believes it, he just said it more directly than most.

I’ve loathed Starmer ever since he attacked Corbyn and then threw out anyone who was on the left of the present right wing Labor Party, which isn’t a Labor party any more. So, a few people, it was a dramatically low turnout, came out and replaced one right wing party by another with a different name. In any case the UK isn’t what I would call a true democracy as we have an unelected head of state, the King, with all the ridiculous carrying on that that ensues, did anyone watch or read about the recent opening of Parliament, idiotic, like being in the Middle Ages, and an unelected upper chamber, the House of Lords, and a FPTP system which isn’t completely democratic either. Plus, we don’t elect the Prime Minister anyhow, and he’s a Zionist, with a Zionist wife and Father-in-law, who would probably fall on his knees in front of the President of the USA, whoever they are, and——-can’t go on as it’s too disgusting to write. So, it’s depressing but I’m not a bit surprised as I expect the UK Government to be a bunch of useless——-
